kbin finally has notifications not throwing an error every time I try to check them, so that much is nice now. I’ve actually had no problems with the Reddit software on my phone, and I’ve unsubbed from most of the communities I was part of there which moved across to lemmy. That choice has really trimmed my experience down to a more focused one nicely. I’ve also gotten done turning federation back off as I want it to be, and my user block list here is getting pretty long, blocking out the spammers that come across my feed.

Of course, because kbin is still one of the smallest sites related to the ActivityPub protocol, there’s limited content here compared to Reddit, Then again, there’s also less content on all of PeerTube (let alone a single site) than there is on YouTube, and I’d take a shot at saying that even Threads has the largest Mastodon community beat by a country mile, let alone what Twitter still has.

So basically, I guess I’d say I’m not a refugee, I’m just doing as I did with Facebook when it first launched after MySpace and Friendster - keeping my options open and looking around.

How many millions are you paying them? Because unless you’re paying into the business tier or an SLA, you are not their customer.

I’ve been finding Brave a better solution.

Funny, they’re actively making it worse any time I try to lower my shields too. They’ve changed, very recently, from a video hosting platform with ads, to an advertising platform with some minor videos in between.

Honestly, given the ruckus they’ve been raising for a while now, my feeling is that Beehaw wants to push themselves away from society as a whole. I don’t agree with their perspective, which is part of why I never engage with much of their content or users. All I can say is that I wish them only the best for their echo chamber.

My main email is still at Yahoo.

Lol. Monkey JPEGs get funged.

I look forward to AI taking over writing movies.

The “corpo drones” in this case are people willing to follow the directions from Reddit/Advance Media, but not get paid.

Wait, people actually use Pocket? When they made it part of Firefox, that was the last straw for me to switch completely to Pale Moon.

So Blink as the Edge engine is the Embrace phase, and then they can try to Extend via Office Online & Bing?

I really hope you’re right, but I’m still scared.

I do find that interesting - but the status site doesn’t list API requests; and they don’t have any diagnosis yet. I wonder if this is come kind of DOS.

Since they adopted Blink as their browser engine, I just assume that M$ is going to eventually get absorbed into Alphabet in a few years.

Finally. Maybe the world’s biggest store, the world’s biggest CDN and webhost, and the world’s biggest logistics network shouldn’t be under one roof.

I love the chaos.

I mean, didn’t he get a viable exit ramp with Conde Nast?

Oh thank goodness. The big subs, or at least some of them, will get back to business as usual.

I think they were talking specifically about the people on Twitter.

I’m not really upset over that. If the major platforms become more polarized, I expect that things will get more decentralized over time, which isn’t a bad thing. If conservatives are more able and willing to spend money on online communication, then let them. Everyone has a right to spend their money as they see most fit.
